THE alarm which the Germans
are represented as feeling over the
probable fatal termination of Crown
Prince Frederick Williams malady
cannot be said to arise from a fear
that the throne will be left without
an occupant. The old Emperor
himself is not yet dead, and is like
" to hold on some years yet. But
should he die, the Crown Prince has
three or four sons, and then there
is lot of buxom girls who could
manage affairs very well with the
assistance of Bismarck. Victoria,
OF Great Britain, is the grand moth
or of this brood of princes and prin-
cesses, and she knows how to rule
an empire quite as we'll as any Hob
enzollern who ever lived. If a wo.
man can manage Great Britain
successfully for half century, a
woman could very we'll stand at the
head of Germany with its many wise
men and real statesmen. And then,
suppose all the royal sons and
daughters were to pass away, could
not Germany maintain an existence
without great suffering? France.
her near neighbor, has had nothing
to do with royalty for fully half
generation, and to-day finds itself
stronger, healthier, more prosper
GUS and eminently more contented
than at any time since it became
civilized nation. What France can
do aud more, Germany can do, as
has been demonstrated. There is
no such good or i'll luck, as may be
preferred, in store for Germany as
. failure Of legitimate successors to
the throne, but if there were we be-
lieye il would be better for the en-
pire IN = national and q social sense.

Winter Passages.

1t should be borne in mind that arrange
ments must be made 50 that the bees can
pass from one comb to another, in order
that they can reach their stores without
having to go around the ends or bottom
of the same. Many colonies have starved
to death ON account of this, when plenty
of honey was vet in the hive. In a very
long spell of continued cold weather,
it il impossible for them to leave the
cluster and travel around the frames of
combs in order to reach their honey.
Hence they will starve with plenty of
honey in the hive. The remedy for this
formerly was to cut holes in the combs for
passage ways, but as this destroyes the
combs to certain extent another device
has been substituted which is as good and
in some respects even better. As the heat
of the cluster naturally rises upwards this
pa'sway can be made over the top of the
francs, in the shape of an empty chamber
raised three -eighths of an inch above the
francs. We would not place it over the
entire top Of the hive, but extend it - a.

At the same time had pen of Brown
Leghorns They laid an average OF 156
eggs and consumed 60 cents each annu

hen in twelve months. then shipped
eggs to my brother on farm in Missouri,
from which he raised several dozen pull

demonstrated the fact that he could keep
Brown Leghorns in fine condition on the
farm at a cost of As cents each annually,

summer. Lately, however, we have been
able to engage our eggs in summer at u

where; hence, we are now adopting the
Stoddard plan of sea tering the roosting
and laying houses about over the farm,

to keep Leghorns simply for their eggs at
market prices. aside from the revenue de-
rived from the sale of superior birds and
